Hi Everyone! I got banded on Tuesday. Had a hernia repaired while they were in there. Very small hernia. Today it was 80 and beautiful here in North Carolina. I couldn't resist working in the yard. I ddin't pick up anything over 10 pounds. But let's face it, at 257 pounds getting up off the ground does result in some pulling. DID I HURT ANYTHING??? Nothing hurts except for the incisions and the occasional gas bubble near the band. Once in a while I get a port pain. For me working in the yard is taking it easy. I am worried to death. Everyone fussed at me throughout the day and told me I'd end up back in the hospital. I feel great.

I'm going to be banded this upcoming Wednesday. From what I've been told by fellow bandsters, early moving makes a huge difference. Hey I live in North Carolina too! I'm in Greenville! Where are you?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
